I watched this and its such a weird scenario. Its sweet of Billy to play, it's sad someone died. It's just damn, he really lost all his mojo. His voice is so bad here and its like he cant even play the guitar that well anymore. Axl's voice is rough, but I still felt a little something in there. Also Axl's playing was pretty damn good here given the situation. It almost like skill, talent, circumstance and hard work are nothing compared to just the sheer randomness of having "it" and not. I guess even the greats only have a tiny window of being truly phenomenal.

Excuse me, Billy's vocals and guitar are perfectly fine here. Look at it in context: his performance has been captured via a direct line into the desk for a Livestream, it's completely dry, there's no room/ambience/reverb, the mix just sounds really stark and unforgiving for his type of vocal, but I'm not hearing anything subjectively bad about this 1 song he just performed for his dead friend.

Billy should have played Bullet With Butterfly Wings. It was a bigger hit.

Uhm... I've been as hard on Billy as anyone, but he sounded fine. As russticles pointed out, the feed is 100% dry.
Fast forwarding to Axl... now that's a voice/style of singing that hasn't aged well. This is coming from someone who's last vinyl purchase was Use Your Illusion I and II. Beautiful piano though. |

Axl had to hit some very high notes without warming-up, he did a respectable job imo. Plus excellent piano work.
All Billy had to do was whisper To Sheila but opted for the weak-ass vibrato thing. Even the guitar part at the end came off a bit rusty. He's too much of an amateur these days. Unfuckingbelievable. |

I only skimmed through, but I wonder if she had "No Elvis songs and no 'You Are Not Alone' at my funeral" in bold letters at the top of her will

He was probably distracted thinking about what business models he could use to sell the performance on vinyl, how much tea would be needed etc.

seriously.
My issue with this board as of late is that it's so reactionary i can't tell what is a genuine opinion anymore. Billy performs at a funeral "he's a has been!" billy doesn't sign an autograph- "what a has been ungrateful loser!" ATUM has synths it sucks! jimmy is playing a straight beat what a fucking old man! but yeah the funeral of a dear friend? back off. he sounds fine here. |

Yeah to be honest, if you're being negative over this you're just a fucking dick.
He sounds absolutely fine, it's a raw acoustic sound in a big room, and oh yeah, it's at a fucking funeral. Bashing ATUM is cool, go back to doing that. But bashing the man whilst he's showing respect to his recently passed friend, nah, leave him alone. |

billy performing at LMP's funeral - off limits, but also sounds good all things considered so the criticisms are stupid billy not signing autographs - i didnt even see this one but who gives a fuck? dudes been weird about this shit forever. atum - presenting this as the sequel to MCIS and Machina, and giving us a promising instrumental to open makes this album open season for critiques of all sorts! flame away! |

It’s a live broadcast on YouTube not a sung mass. You can state your opinion on a SP message board about him performing To Sheila in a respectful matter.

I think my biggest peeve with the live vox criticisms are we're talking about a dude who's never been able to sing proficiently. The album stuff I think is fair play because theres a lot of terrible decision making happening to make his vox sound egregiously and purposefully grating, but live takes like this he sounds better than average for old man bill.

Yeah the vibrato is a bit annoying but that’s how he sings now so otherwise a fine performance.
